I haven't checked in for a while but glad to see the midnight rally crew is doing well. I have my own twist on it buying at 330pm eastern and selling at 2am eastern. Anyone care to guess why the rally has worked so well for so long?

Anyone know where I can find prices for negative convexity bonds denominated in Canadian dollars? I have been hunting around the internet and I can't find what I'm looking for. Maybe a better question is does such a thing exist? The Ft article that spark this thought program was about...

Nice handle Mr. Hogweed, I trust your are glyphosate resistant! Any ideas on how to play a three to five year spike in the hog market? My thinking is that low prices are causing many producers to leave the industry leading to a lack of supply shock. Of course it may not happen but it could...

Look! there is the forest, right in the middle of all those trees. I was looking so hard for quotes I didn't notice them in the middle of the front screen Let me have a look at them when there is more time left in the day to make a fair comparison

I can't seem to get nadex pricing without signing up, but I think your hunch could be right. I'm checking out finotec right now, anyone ever use them?

Nadex is a no go for me as a loyal citizen of Canada. Any other suggestions? Upon clarifcation from betonmarkets I feel that there one touch options are overpriced relative to "rent" or "sigma" and to their own no touch options. I would really like a reasonably fair exotics options market...

An recommendations for an FX exotics broker? I have been looking at betonmarkets.com and the spread between the one touch/no touch price is huge.

Since I have so much fun buying straddles on eurex I thought I would find lots of opportunities in taking long vol positions through exotics. I would like to buy both a one touch call and put at 3am eastern on days after the bund failed to make "rent" or "sigma" for two day in a row

I'm looking to trade exotic options on the Bund. Can anyone suggest a good broker?

Okay how about this. I'm at my Grandmothers house and her old rotary phone goes dead. She need to call the church to say that the turkey isn't quite ready for the 4:30pm first sitting at the supper. She has no internet of course. I have my computer that I can plug into a land line and my...

Dail-up for high frequency scalping all the way! Just kidding actual I bought a headset that doesn't work with my phone but works with my computer. I would really like to use it. I don't have skype as I don't think it is the right thing for my business

The other day I found myself without an alarm clock so I did a search and now I use my computer for that purpose everyday. So say I found myself with out a telephone but I had my IBM thinkpad, a landline and a head set. There must be a way that I can use those three things to make a phone call?
